John Travolta to be felicitated at IIFA

Hollywood star John Travolta, of Saturday Night Fever and Grease fame, will attend the 15th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) weekend and awards in Tampa Bay, Florida starting Wednesday. He will also be honoured with the 'Most Popular All time International star in India’ award.

The two-time Academy Award nominee and two-time Golden Globe winner's presence at IIFA is symbolic of the coming together of the two distinctive film industries- Hollywood and Bollywood, said a statement issued by the event’s organisers Monday. 

Travolta will grace the extravaganza, which is making its US debut this year. An iconic name in Hollywood, Travolta, 60, has seen stupendous success as an actor, singer and dancer. He has starred in hits like Pulp Fiction, Swordfish, Face Off, Broken Arrow and Ladder 49.
